Also loved that the shampoo and conditioner they use aren't overly fragrant. I'll be back next time!

My wife came in for a haircut and blow dry, and our son (who has long, curly/wavy hair) was…read morescheduled for a trim at the same time. While my wife was getting her hair washed, our son's haircut was done, so she didn't get to see the result until the very end. Her haircut itself was fine, but the blow dry was poorly done. The stylist only straightened the mid-lengths and ends, leaving the top 2-3 inches at the roots curly and frizzy. When she pointed this out, the stylist said it was "because her hair is curly." She explained that she had plenty of blowouts before and that the roots are always smoothed. He offered to flat iron it, but that's not what she wanted. She expected a proper blowout, not bone-straight hair. When she told him that he should've been upfront if he couldn't do a blowout, he got defensive and raised his voice. She wasn't going to let anyone speak to her disrespectfully, so she raised her voice too. At that point, the other stylist stepped in to re-wet her hair, and my wife used her own curly hair products and just left with her hair natural. Then she looked at our son's haircut and it was visibly uneven and crooked. When she brought it up, both stylists insisted it was "just the way curly hair looks" or that she was "pulling on a strand." That wasn't the case, it was just a bad, rushed cut. They did offer to fix it, but by then she'd lost all confidence in their ability to do so. If you don't know how to properly work with curly hair, cutting it or blowing it out , just say so. This wasn't our first time here, and her previous experience was decent, but this visit was disappointing. It felt rushed and careless, and that simply doesn't work with curly hair. We won't be coming back.

I just went back for a cut and color. I am really happy. Erin spent a lot of time making sure it was exactly the way it should be. I got a lot of hair cut off and I absolutely love it. If you are going in for highlights and a cut make sure you give yourself enough time because I was there from 10-1! Definitely no rushing going on here, but it was due to quality and also the fact that I have so much hair. She was honest about how short we should go, the color and was also just pleasant to be around. Super high quality cut and equal quality color. I'm so happy I found this place!

I was a loyal client--since 2019--until last week. Erin, my OG stylist, was AMAZING. She was kind,…read morefriendly, humble, and SKILLED. She brought my brown-black hair to an amazing level of blond and I will forever be grateful. When Erin left the salon I stuck around, going first to Alexis who highlighted my hair once, and then, most recently, to Rachel. My color request was simple: tone out the orange and add contrast to my money pieces. My hair was already damaged from a botched DIY bleach bath from last April, so knowing my hair history, I was surprised when Rachel began foiling highlights into my already brassy, frizzled hair, leaving some strands untouched. In the months prior she'd toned my poorly bleached mess to dark brown--it faded brassy, and highlighted it--brassy again, all the while insisting on warm browns. Warm had SOUNDED great--like caramel--but the reality was more like old rust--every time. This time I was adamant. Get rid of the orange once and for all. Cool tones. Ash. Let's do this already. The photo I brought along was an ombre with money pieces--brunette and blond. I've attached it below. I really wish we'd discussed my priorities and the reality of my hair situation beforehand but we never got into depth. Maybe because, on top of everything else, Rachel seemed to be having a psychological crisis. She went on and on about on a few personal issues and I started feeling more like a therapist or family member than a paying client. I also grew concerned about her foiling, but she was the pro. I'd communicated my goals clearly. Surely she knew what she was doing. In the end this was the least relaxing salon visit I'd ever had. I sat there for almost five hours, spent $300 and knew enough about Rachel's personal life to write a novella. And the piece de la resistance? My hair came out MORE orange AFTER my appointment. The following day I reached out to Alexis, who acts as a quasi-manager when Laura isn't around, which, according to salon gossip, is more and more these days. On this day, Laura was at a two-week luxury retreat and unreachable. I imagined her phone sitting in a hemp basket somewhere that reeked of incense while she lay in corpse pose communing with her inner wisdom. Lo, instead of acknowledging Rachel's epic fail, Alexis first apologized in that classic non-apology way. She said, "I'm sorry your hair feels orange." No Alexis, my hair IS orange. But I FEEL infuriated. Then she blamed a) my hair for not lifting, b) my goal photo for being too blond at the ends, which was not my priority AT ALL, but who would know? And c) fate itself--because sometimes things just don't go as planned OMG. It couldn't--heaven forfend--be the fault of the girl who actually colored my hair. Now I felt even worse. It wasn't enough that I looked like 1997 Ginger Spice. I was also being gaslit by fake management. So I reached out to Laura. She owns the joint after all. She would surely make things right. In my email to her I stayed on message. I was unhappy with my results, received the polar opposite of what I asked for, and wanted a refund and/or a correction done by her. There was no way I'd return to Rachel now. I waited a week for Laura to return to civilization from shangri-la. Finally she emailed back. Laura apologized that I was unhappy (another non-apology) but would have to charge me in full for her service and offered no refund. Nada. Zilch. So I wrote this. PS, My husband, two adult children and I will go elsewhere from now on.

The stylists themselves have always been kind and do their best, but they often seem overwhelmed and unsupported. The actual color service has generally been fine, but the overall experience has consistently been frustrating. Some of the recurring issues I've experienced include: The app frequently does not work properly for scheduling appointments. I've arrived and been told they had the wrong appointment time for me. Long wait times have repeatedly made me late for work. No hot water -- this has happened twice on very cold days. I was told they had been requesting a new water heater for months. Washing hair with cold water in the winter is unacceptable. My computer charger broke because one of the outlets was extremely tight. Staff attempted to contact a manager about reimbursement, but I never heard back. Appointments are often delayed or disrupted because a staff member has called out at the last minute. There is no way to reach a live person by phone when issues come up. The fact that this is my first Yelp review ever really says a lot. I truly want this place to succeed, but it feels like both the staff and customers deserve better support and management. I keep saying I'm not going to return, but I still have the membership, which is the only reason I've continued coming back.
